Last year, Asdrubal Cabrera and Jhonny Peralta shined as shortstops in the AL Central. However, Alexei's steady play make him the best shortstop of the division.

Ramirez has been a constant threat in the White Sox lineup since 2008. In four seasons, Ramirez has never hit less than 15 home runs. In 2010, Ramirez won the AL Silver Slugger while hitting .282 with 18 home runs and 70 RBI.

Ramirez is also a stellar defensive shortstop, regularly making highlight reel plays. Alexei is paired with Gordon Beckham, giving the White Sox one of the best double play combinations in all of baseball.
